19th Century château

17 hectares plus ‘infinity-style’ swimming pool

With a helicopter pad in the back garden and a private airfield just down the road, this exquisite 19th Century château ticks all the grandeur, luxury, comfort and style boxes you could ever wish for, especially with its ‘infinity’ swimming pool.

But then you would expect a property with a 4.15m euro price tag to have ‘something extra special’ and that’s exactly why this extraordinary Chateau, it’s unique additional buildings and particularly its exceptional gardens are referred to as ‘a mini Versailles.’

Indeed this secluded property with it’s 17 hectares of outstanding Gascony countryside, has all the vital ingredients for a lucrative investment in a year-round tourist facility of the very highest order.

With it’s honey-coloured exposed stone facades and steeply-pitched slated roofscape, the 130-year old château has been lovingly restored with great skill and exceptional attention to the detail of the original Napoleonic style. The surrounding buildings too, such as the former stables with the guest suites and the staff house, which are so much an integral part of this property’s undoubted potential, have been equally well refurbished. Now they embrace some of the finest, spacious accommodation and facilities you will find anywhere in this popular part of France.

Although it enjoys its own very exclusive seclusion this superb château is just a few minutes drive from a small market town with its private airfield. But within two hours by road you can have a choice of airports such as Bordeaux, Bergerac, Biarritz or Toulouse. Or you can at the Atlantic coast or the Spanish border and the Pyrénées in approximately the same amount of time. And, of course, there is always Pau airport and the TGV at Agen, both no more than an hour’s drive away.
